a relative stole a money from his company amounting to 2M. He works there as payroll processor. He transferred an amount of 50-100k monthly salary of their co-employee into his bank account until it gets to 2M. Immediately after getting caught by their company, he admitted his crime and went throught the process of investigation of their legal department and he has been cooperative since the start of the investigation. The company and my relative then had an agreement to pay the whole amount of 2M which he was able to raise and pay in deadline. There was a document stating that the payment has been received by the company. However, a legal suit was still filed by the company as Qualified Theft.

Note that the company have evidences on how the transfer of funds has been done over a period of time.

is this still considered as qualified theft eventhough the full payment has been settled and acknowledged?

lei, not at all, unless the complainant issued an affidavit of desistance.

I'll admit it, and I want to settle it with them personally without the court or whatever legal parties.Ano po penalty kung ayaw nila makipag negotiate? And what would be the best solution for this case?

Hi. I have this girlfriend that was accused of getting her roomates' iphone 5. The phone was lost around 5 am - 6am based from the owner. Unfortunately, my girlfriend went out of the unit from the time that the phone was stolen. She went out to buy her breakfast. Since she's the only one who went out the unit that time and they were only three in the unit, including the owner, and she's the only person identified who went out from the condo when the phone was stolen, she was the main suspect. What can we do to avoid wrong accusations about her? We need your help on this because her roommates are saying negative things about her through different posts on the wall inside their condo.

it's now a question of evidence. try to get the prosecutor to have it referred for investigation so she can be freed.
